The municipality of Lauro Müller (15,000 inhabitants in 2017; 27,051 ha) is

Lauro Müller was known before

On 25 September 1905, the town was renamed for Lauro Severiano

1902-1905), Minister of Industry, Transport and Public Works (1902-1906), and
Minister of Foreign Affairs (1912-1917).
The municipality of Lauro Mûller was

Orleans, and inaugurated on 20 January 1957.
